No, he wasn't. Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson are fictional characters created by James Cameron.

There was a man named J. Dawson who died aboard the Titanic, but James Cameron did not know that he existed until AFTER he wrote the Titanic screenplay. He did not base the Jack character on this J. Dawson person.

The man's gravestone bears the inscription "J. Dawson," and no one knows what the J. stands for. Some people believe it was Joseph or James.
